Hi Linn,

That sure was scary.

Once we've been through cancer, it's hard not to be alarmed whenever we feel aches and pains. And a 'pain on the neck' sure gets our attention.

I would take the ER doctor's word and contact the oncologist on Monday.

Your tumor was Grade 2 which is much slower growing than grade 3. I wouldn't worry too much about a bone metastasis if I were you.

Easier said than done.

We all understand the panic and worries in/after our cancer journey ...

Sending you good vibes.

ps. The pain you felt when you put your finger to it probably was caused by exposed nerves which will be related to the arthritis issue. It's not fun. I was told about 'cervical vertebrae degeneration' when I complained about similar problems. The x-ray confirmed it and I have been more careful when doing exercises.
